the brake pedal pulsate. This is
normal.
Braking in Emergencies ABS allows you to steer and brake
at the same time. In many
emergencies, steering can help
more than even the very best
braking.
Brake Force Distribution During braking while driving through
turns, the system optimizes the
distribution of force to each of the
four wheels depending on the radius
of the turn. Parking Brake

Parking Brake Break-in
Break-in the brake shoes whenever
the effect of the parking brake is
weakened or whenever the brake
shoes and/or drums are replaced, in
order to assure the best brake
performance. This procedure can be
performed at the dealer. Ride Control Systems Traction Control/
Electronic Stability
Control System Operation The vehicle has a Traction Control
System (TCS) and Electronic
Stability Control, an electronic
stability control system. These
systems use various sensors to
monitor driver inputs and vehicle
motion. Under certain driving
conditions, the TCS and Electronic
Stability Control systems help to
perform the following functions: .
Control brake pressure to reduce
wheel slip on one slipping drive
wheel so power is transferred to
a non – slipping drive wheel on
the same axle. .
Control brake pressure and
engine output to reduce drive
wheel slip based on vehicle
speed (traction control function). .
Control brake pressure at
individual wheels and engine
output to help the driver maintain
control of the vehicle in the
following conditions:
‐ Understeer (vehicle tends to
not follow the steered path
despite increased steering
input)
‐ Oversteer (vehicle tends to
spin due to certain road or
driving conditions)
TCS and Electronic Stability Control
can help the driver to maintain
control of the vehicle, but cannot
prevent loss of vehicle control in all
driving situations.
When the TCS and Electronic
Stability Control systems operate,
the
d indicator in the instrument
cluster flashes to note the following: .
The road may be slippery or the
system may determine some
action is required to help keep
the vehicle on the steered path.

9-26 Driving and Operating .
You may feel a pulsation in the
brake pedal and hear a noise or
vibration from under the hood.
This is normal and indicates that
the traction control system is
working properly. .
Adjust your speed and driving to
the road conditions.
See Traction Control System (TCS)/
Electronic Stability Control Light on
page 5-16 and Electronic Stability
Control (ESC) Off Light on
page 5-16 .
If a malfunction occurs in the
systems, the
d indicator comes on
in the instrument cluster. The TCS
and Electronic Stability Control
systems automatically turn off when
the indicator light is on. Turning the Systems Off
and On
The TCS/Electronic Stability Control
button is on the instrument panel, to

off. The vehicle driveline could be
damaged.
To turn off TCS and Electronic
Stability Control, press and release
the
g button. The Electronic
Stability Control (ESC) Off Light
gcomes on and stays on in the
instrument cluster. To turn TCS and Electronic Stability
Control on again, press and release
the
g button. The Electronic
Stability Control (ESC) Off Light
gdisplayed in the instrument cluster
will turn off.
When the TCS/Electronic Stability
Control button is used to turn off the
systems, the TCS system still
operates to prevent one drive wheel
from slipping by transferring power
to a non – slipping drive wheel. The
d indicator flashes if this occurs. All
other functions are off and the
d indicator will not flash.
The TCS and Electronic Stability
Control systems are automatically
reset to on when the ignition is
placed in the OFF position then
back to the ON position.
The systems have a built in
diagnostic feature that test the
systems each time the engine is
started and the vehicle moved
forward or in reverse at a slow
speed. When the test occurs a clunk
